Local Blogger Defends Posting Naked Photos Of Tom Brady’s Son

BOSTON (CBS) – Barstool Sports founder David Portnoy defended a post on his website that included naked photos of Tom Brady’s 2-year-old son on Friday.

The photo, posted on Boston Barstool Sports Thursday afternoon, included graphic commentary and several other photos of Benjamin Brady and his mother, Gisele Bundchen, recently seen vacationing in Chile.

A spokesman for the Norfolk district attorney’s office told WBZ NewsRadio 1030 that they will neither confirm nor deny that an investigation into Portnoy’s posting of the pictures is underway. And despite concerns raised by local advocates, in an interview with WBZ NewsRadio 1030’s Carl Stevens, Portnoy was adamant he hadn’t done anything wrong.

“I said he had a big ‘howitzer.’ So that’s not sexual. If you’re making a connection to that being sexual then I would look into the mirror is what I would say; because it’s not sexual at all,” Portnoy told Stevens. “I don’t know how anyone with a rational brain could say, ‘Oh, that’s because I said that, that’s sexual.’ It’s a ‘Curb Your Enthusiasm’ joke.”

Portnoy told WBZ NewsRadio 1030 that his decision to post the pictures was completely legal.

“I don’t think it’s out of line at all, or else I wouldn’t have posted it,” he said. “For somebody to say me posting it has somehow fueled the fire of a pedophile, I’d say they’ve never been on the Internet.”

Before the interview, former child abuse prosecutor Wendy Murphy told WBZ NewsRadio 1030 that while Portnoy may not have intended to “cause any sexual experience for anybody” who may have viewed the photos, she thinks he could still face legal trouble.

“It’s about whether (the photo) has a sexual purpose attached. And make no mistake about it, if you’re asking the public to look at the photograph and have a certain feeling or reaction to the size of a little boy’s penis, you are sexualizing the child, period, end of discussion,” Murphy said. “If we mean it when we enact laws that say we don’t want children’s genitalia to be exploited, especially for monetary gain, then here’s a statute on the books that says this man can and should be prosecuted. Why wouldn’t an elected district attorney take this case on, just to make it clear to anybody else who’s thinking of doing this, ‘don’t you dare.'”

Portnoy appears to have taken the controversy even further by soliciting ideas for a ‘howitzer’ t-shirt.

Many have weighed in on his decision to post the pictures. Some have criticized it, others defend his post.

“Whoever is legit angry about this is a whack job,” one supporter commented on Portnoy’s site.

One Somerville man is attempting to get advertisers to boycott Barstool in light of the controversial post, and he created a blog to front the effort.

I used to be a fan of Barstool Sports but Portnoy made it crystal clear last year that he has no moral compass. He published jokes about children with progeria disease. He thought it was hilarious. So this does not surprise me in the least. He is a nice enough guy when you remove him from Barstool Sports but when given the chance to make a buck he will sh** his own mother to do it. The posting and commenting of this little boy’s picture is disgusting and has gone too far and the advertisers who continue to support Portnoy and put money in his pocket are just as morally corrupt.

portnoy – the 2 yr old is not in the public domain/public eye. you wrongly assumed you had more rights than the boys parents. what a vile being you are. up there with the low elements of the 4th estate you are. stop taking to heart gordon gecko’s “greed is good.” selfish pig you are . the 2 yr old has more rights than you, and by your actions, also more intelligence than you. would there have been quite the yuck factor if something horrible had been outed about a family member (if there is a higher power, you have no children). not enough dope slaps to your head. somewhere your village is celebrating the loss of its idiot. don’t try to hide behind the first amendment, your agenda/version of it is not what american troops are fighting for.hopefully enough doors slam on your attempt to get in, or as you are hussled out.

As a veteran I fought for all our rights. When I saw this pic with the comment I laughed. It was not sexual or suggestive in any way. I hope when this calms down people will see that this was a joke aimed at Peyton Manning and not at the Brady family. Geez it was funny…let it go!

A nude photo of Tom Brady’s son has no place in a Boston Sports Blog or in any blog for that matter. I agree w/thor’s hammer, the child is not in the public domain/eye, just because he has an NFL star quarterback for a father does not make him fair game. I’m surprised Tom hasn’t demanded it be taken down. If that were a photo of a US President’s son or grandson, you KNOW the Secret Service would have it off the web before you could say God Bless America!

No he should not be arrested..It’ s freedoom of press.
Actualy I am wondering why this little baby is naked at the beach like this. I mean, Gueesle knows they are famous and paparazi after them.
What do you eccept? In public beach.

Ed, the picture was not suggestive or sexual in any way. I agree that some creative editing probably should have been done. Unfortunately we live in dangerous times for children. I do feel the uproar over this has gone on too long and too far. I myself did see the humor in the comment, but I respect all people who didn’t. In this case though the uproar does not fit the offense. Just my opinion!

The picture was already on the internet along with others that were released last year. Apperently Giselle does not cover the little kid when they go to the beach. Dont you people read before you go shooting off at the mouth?

How about the fact that the website you mention in this story to boycott Barstool Sports actually had the pictures up longer than Barstool did? Is this they type of pervert this story makes mention too? He took them down today once I notified him and Dave Portnoy in an email that his site was the only one to have them still up? Is this the type of pervert that WBZ wants to be affiliated with?

If you’re doing a minor digging to find a goodbest gaming laptop 2011 cnet beneath $1000, you might run across a number of options out there. Your best bet is usually to create a list of characteristics you want from the notebook and search according to that will list.

A good video gaming laptop must 1st be configured to handle a powerful processor. Mobile phone . this limited price range, some good suggestions could be dual-core processors, since these are powerful and inexpensive at the same time. Single primary processors are great for straightforward tasks, but since video games demand more from the system, it’s a lot much better if you start with the dual-core processor just to be sure everything runs great.

In terms of system memory space a good target to start out at would be 3GB. Severe gaming laptops may carry up to 32gb, but for a small gaming laptop, Several or 4GB of Memory is a good start, because most modern games do not even go beyond 3GB of their system requirements record. This amount will help you to also do some modifying work, graphic design or a bit of multitasking.

The recording card that comes with a new gaming laptop must be dedicated. What this means is it has to have its own devoted memory, so it won’t take from your obtainable RAM in order to work. For this budget you’ll likely get away with a decent style from either nVidia or even ATI with about 512MB to 1GB regarding dedicated memory. That is fine if you don’t thoughts running games throughout medium to good quality settings, but for severe graphics you’ll definitely have to do better than this.

Video games are better played out when they’re viewed appropriately and you don’t have to pressure your eyes to keep your crosshair on your target. Which means the screen size in your gaming laptop must not go under 15 in ., since then all the objectives you’re hunting is going to be mere pixels. Average mobile computer screen sizes have been in the 15.Several inch range, however you might also find 07 inch screen notebook computers in this budget range and they are generally quite capable of showing decent resolutions way too.

The hard drive can often be an overlooked characteristic in gaming notebooks, since all it lets you do is store details. You should not overlook part of HDD even though, and that is their revoltions per minute. More is better in this instance, so don’t accept an average laptop hard disk drive with 5400rpm, but attempt to go for a 7200 rpm design, or, if you’re ready to spend a bit, select an SSD drive.
